Show your custom sprites... Free Prizes*
 

*May not be free or prizes

I tried my hand tonight at my first custom sprite. This is more than a meager recolor, I made this one, but I did use other sprites as a guide for height and where all the body parts should be. I haven't named her, but I've decided that she is a time mage. Opinions?
Please post your custom sprites. Let's make a contest out of this thing.

/EDIT: Here is a better drawing. \

Oh, and please check out my web series before I go away for the summer. :(

Well, I just made this one using the Sprite Maker system, but it IS a custom sprite technically. I was thinking of making it into my Avatar at some point, just haven't yet...

Nice. I don't even know how to make sprites. I just recolor

Here's a quick selection sprites of the Bishi 8-Bit version of my internet self.
Or, to put it less confusingly, a tall self-portrait sprite, containing my internet character's traits - Powers of negativity.

My references were:

• The "8-Bit Theatre" sprites, for the eyes and face in general.
• Previous test-anime drawings I did.
• Actual articles of clothing.

To explain the choice of background color.. It's just so that I can remove it from sprites in Photoshop/SWiSHmax without taking any vital colors as well.

Is it alright if I judge the contest? I have no spriting skills so I can't participate. I won't post on who's is best yet in case we have more entries.

As for a name, how about Karen? I don't know, I like it.

Sure. There isn't going to be a prize... that was a joke. The prize will be respect and... um... other things that don't cost money and do not exist in the real world. You can be a judge, but I'd prefer it if you finished your next "Forum Days" comic. :D
Karen... maybe... possibly... probably.

Custom sprites? Sure. It's a necromancer I've been working on.

EDIT: Karen sounds good to me.

I am doing a series of ArchMages. An ArchMage is the charachter in my avatar in red white or black. Wait and see!

I am glad that everyone has realized that in order to have a good sprite, you need several poses. Regardless, I do believe that I am winning. ;)
Here is a wallpaper I made. I've made a few of these using different characters, but I think this is the best one yet. Check it.

Biran, your sprites are really cute! Simple, funny, and pleasant. Simple and Clean is the waaaaaay... AAAAAAH! I knew I shouldn't have played Kingdom Hearts all afternoon! Now I've got that goddamn song in my head!

Shall I dig up the old Custom Metools, or is this good enough?

A lot of those look suspiciously like Sky Warrior Bob's... na.

I'm lame. My sprites are mostly re-colors, but I did do some (note: a LITTLE) editing in them to get the different outfits and hats and such. ^^;;

EDIT: Ooh! I found more. The second set I'm more proud of. I actually had to edit, rather than re-color to do those sprites and emotions.

I don't know... CHICAGO*lollie's, Inev's, everyone's sprites look good.

EDIT: And here's a little animation I just found. It's a little choppy and not my best work, but oh well.

Inev, can I use your 8-bit Sprites? They would really come in handy for the flash I'm making.

Sure, why not. Just gimme credit, OK?

I don't like the implications in that. Anyway, the story goes that a non-Froofmyster buddy had asked me to create a few sprites, mainly poses for Fighter, Black Belt, and some Ninji, for his 8-Bit-themed movie, so I obliged. I didn't know that he had asked a lot of other spriters for similar poses, and it seems he also asked SkyWarriorBob... I would never steal sprites from a fellow Spriter,and especially not from the badassed SkyWarriorBob.

Oh, I wasn't accusing of stealing. You can tell that those are original and not Bob's. I was refering to the style of Fighter's sword thrust. It is very similar to Bob's, but it is hardly stealing because I'm sure you drew those yourself. I was trying to say something cute when I probably should have kept my mouth shut.

Meh, I was bored, so I used your idea, Acolyte, and made this wallpaper.

Nice, the lens flare at the singularity is a great little touch. I like that plasma effect.
I would be remiss if I didn't put up a sprite sheet of my avatar. True, this character is a recolor of an Imperial something from FF6, but the game only had 6 poses- facing and walking up, down, left (inverted for right). Everything else I made.

Ive been trying to make sprites. I havent made much progress yet but ill post when i get better.

p.s. i wont show you the sprites ive made now because they are terrible.

To keep the theme of sprites, avatars, and the text centered wallpapers based upon them.
I give you:
THIS!

Well, it took me awhile, but here is my first custom sprite sheet. I recolored Edgar's head (FFVI) and plopped it on the heavily edited body of Locke (FFVI). Dunno if it counts as custom or not, but here goes!

could someone show me where i could go to make a sprite. is it really easy or no?
because this looks like a little fun.
Its a good name Dragonglove. But the chances.............

I know I am posting a lot today, but I ship out on Tuesday...
I went to this website to get the skiny on spriting. It has a bunch of ideas and templates you can use.

thanks

Well... I think I'll throw up some of my work. I made this a while back, but I"m very proud of my Monk sprites. Basically all I did was take the Black Belt sprite, and edit the clothes a bit. It was the kicking I had a hard time changeing, but I think it came out rather well.

Monk!

(I'd show my pic right in this post, but in all my time in this forum... I still have no idea how to do that!)

You click go advanced, and choose to manage attachments under the additional options thingie.

Acolyte, thanks a bunch for that site. It really gives some nice info on spriting. Gives me something to do till city of heroes comes on wednesday!
